Is it safe to get first H1b visa stamped outside India?

Hi All,

I don't see any appointments on the Indian US embassy site for the rest of the year, and I'm pending a visit to my house for personal reasons for a long time now. Is it safe to get an appointment in some other country - like Canada or UAE?

Canada-Yes

UAE-Check with your attorney

I'm living outside India for 13 yrs now and visit India once or twice a year, but not able to visit since 2 years now. 

My approved H1 has Permanent address listed as my New Mumbai address and Consulate specified as Mumbai for the processing.

Can I get my H1B stamped at my overseas location - where I'm residing ?

I may not be able to travel to India to see my family before I move to US, so I may need to fly out from here to US.

kindly advice.
